Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance

There's been a lot of buzz about this book ever since it came out last year. I've heard that it's something we should read to try to figure out how Trump's base thinks and why the people in Ohio and Kentucky flocked to support him. And I think it accomplished this. It does portray a family and way of life that certainly is different from what I know. For that, I was glad I read it. However, it wasn't an enjoyable read for me. -June
